8.1 GENERAL (Continued)
Piper offers a subscription service for the Service Bulletins, Service
Letters, and Service Spares Letters. This service is available to interested
persons such as owners, pilots, and mechanics at a nominal fee, and may be
obtained through an authorized Piper Service Center or Piper's Customer
Services Department.
Maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, and revisions to both, are available
from Piper Service Centers or Piper's Customer Services Department.
Any correspondence regarding the airplane should include the airplane
model and serial number to ensure proper response.

8.3 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS

Piper has developed inspection items and required inspection intervals
(i.e.: 50, 100, 500, and 1000 hours) for the specific model aircraft. Appropriate
forms are contained in the applicable Piper Service/Maintenance Manual, and
should be complied with by a properly trained, knowledgeable, and qualified
mechanic at a Piper Authorized Service Center or a reputable repair shop.
Piper cannot accept responsibility for the continued airworthiness of any
aircraft not maintained to these standards, and/or not brought into compliance
with applicable Service Bulletins issued by Piper, instructions issued by the
engine, propeller, or accessory manufacturers, or Airworthiness Directives
issued by the FAA.
A programmed inspection, approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), is also available to the owner. This involves routine and
detailed inspections to allow maximum utilization of the airplane. Maintenance
inspection costs are reduced, and the maximum standard of continuous
airworthiness is maintained. Complete details are available from all local
distributors representing The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.
In addition, but in conjunction with the above, the FAA requires periodic
inspections on all aircraft to keep the Airworthiness Certificate in effect. The
owner is responsible for assuring compliance with these inspection
requirements and for maintaining proper documentation in logbooks and/or
maintenance records.
